I'm planning on getting on Birth Control, and I wanted to see what you guys thought of the pill. I tried it once, back in college, but it made me gain weight and break out, even though I was using Ortho Tri Cyclin. This time around, I know there are many more choices. But since I'm getting married in September, I really really don't want to gain weight or break out. I heard with the shot, if you have bad reactions, you're stuck with them for 3 months. My friend did that one, where you put something inside, and you can take it out once you want to have kids. But I'm worried about cramps. :( My other friend's lady just got pregnant, and she was on the pill. Can you get pregant while on the pill? Or did she forget to take them or something?
I used to want kids, but lately, I don't think I want kids. Ever. I used to be scared to say that, because I was scared to jinx myself. But now, I really don't see a need for kids. They cost a LOT of money and time. And with little return. What if my kid turned out bad? Or what do I do if they want to move away and not live near me? Then what would the point have been, to spend 18 years of my time, devoted to them? So now, I don't even want to have an accident of having a kid, and am finally seriously considering birth control.
I talked to Myk about it, and he said he never really thought he wanted kids either. But he'd still like to revisit this conversation in 5 years, to see how we feel at that time.
I met a lady in the nursing home my grandmother was at, who didn't have kids of her own. Once her husband died, she was really lonely, and she died shortly after. But then on the flip side, I met other ladies who had lots of kids, but they never called or visit, so she was in there as well.....
I adore my friends' kids. More than just wanting to hold them real quick now. But by 29, shouldn't my clock have been ringing off the hook?
